Free Energy is real but the coverup is strong, if you are interested in a REAL free energy machine then
just search for the LT MAGNET MOTOR in the youtube video search , it is probably the ONLY working magnet
motor out there. Join the free energy revolution!!
@kricotas Nice job Dave. Very well explained. Please see my wind turbine and solar video’s.
Had one charging our electric Toyota RAV.
Never paid for any power for 4 years.
@RepublicanDumbAss I agree. That and the constant monitoring and chance of lightning storms and whatnot knocking out the system.
Very cool! I suppose you have a new respect for how much electricity your home appliances use! I added a 12 volt battery backup system to light my house in case of power failure. It uses motorhome lights in unobtrusive places on the walls and ceilings. I got rid of the automotive bulbs and put in LED light arrays inside. $20 bucks each but my amps went from 6 down to 2. The lights last 3 times longer on the same batteries. Being a smart*ss I like to vacuum my house during power outages!
Cool video!
what will a little £6 multimeter tell me, im in the uk so its about $9.37 over there.
Very nicely done. So you use Romex from the solar panel into your house? I was trying to think of the best way to wire my system and I was thinking this might work. Currently I have 1 panel (60 watt peak) and will build a second one. Would you use romex outside?
Two questions.
1: What was the total cost for everything?
2: What type of vacuum do you have that it does not allow you to run?
1000w inverter isn’t small? When you runn the microwave and television together? I have 750w microwave and when the fridge kicks in I don’t it will be able to supply others devices as TV etc… How many of them can run at onece (and how they are rated, I mean in watts) ?
I enjoying your videos.
How is the blue sky controller is holding up?
I’m thinking about getting a blue sky for myself.
Keep making those great videos.
How much is your bill each month?
@kricotas watch videos on how to do that here on you tube.
Why does it all have to be so damn expensive?! It seems self-defeating.
i just installed on the wall outside…?
i will try to see the model…
thanks
@kricotas Hey, I would say if you bought it new check the instruction manual, if you bought if used without a manual, I would google the make and model and find a manual. happy hunting
i really enjoy your video
and i need some help….?
my solar panel is 85 watts and is already on the wall out side…
i just bought a multimeter and i wann to learn how to read it…
can you give a advice how to do it??
the charger controller i bought one is sunforce
but maybe imgoing to sell and buy the one u have!! : )
thanks
So are is it bad to charge in 5 or 10 hours opposed to a day charge or so
could you wire that inverter to a sub panel and use ur existing ac outlets?….also, how much for the solar panels and what brand? AWESOME SET UP!
@CHEEKY670 I’m sure I listed the cost of each item in this set up either in the comments on this video, or maybe my “trimetric 2020″ vid. Close to $1900 for all of it. You can use 12 volt marine bats, but they each won’t store as much juice as these. When you wire two 6v bats together (one cable connecting + to -, not + to + like when you jump start your car) you now essentially have one big 12v bat. So really it’s like this system is running off of two big 12v batts that each hold 220 amp hrs.
I dig it! How much did your system cost? and why use 6 volt batteries? Wouldnt 12 volt marine batteries work just the same? Im just getting into solar panel for the house. Ive had the on the roof of my semi for years. That was easy to set up and maintain. they would power my fridge for 7 days before i would have to jump start my rig, im sure if i used more than 2 40 watt panels it woulda charged better but it was fine for what i needed it for. Thanks for any info and good job! =)
Nice eco house.
We aren planning for a solar panel on our home too!
Nice solar panel you got!
We are also planning for a solar panel on our house.
@davidlynch0 I could if i had too, but only for a short period of time. I don’t catch enough energy to run a full sized fridge full time. I haven’t checked the amps on it, but i’m guessing it’s allot. So on a days catch, I could run that fridge for 30 min (example) or power 6 lights and a 19″ tv for 5 hrs. A days catch isn’t near what my bank consists of, but on a day to day basis, I can use tonight what I caught today, no more. other wise my bank won’t be topped off tomorrow night.
Do you power your refrigerator on your solar system?
